DAVIS TAPPED TO HEAD NNSA LIVERMORE SITE OFFICE

Kim Davis has been picked to head up the National Nuclear Security Administration’s Livermore Site Office, taking over for Alice Williams, who is joining the Department of Energy’s Office of Environmental Management in January. Davis has served as the Sandia Site Office’s deputy manager since December of 2005, first in an acting capacity and as the permanent deputy since 2007. She often served as the Sandia Site Office’s top federal official when Patty Wagner was consumed with her role as the chair of the Source Evaluation Board for the agency’s combined Y-12/Pantex M&O contract. She also has spent time at DOE and NNSA headquarters as well as at the Pantex and Savannah River site offices and worked on the staff of the DOE Representative to the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board and on Capitol Hill. “Given Kim’s knowledge of the NNSA programs from a field and headquarters perspective, her technical expertise, and her leadership skills, I have full confidence in her ability to serve as the Livermore Site Office manager,” Phil Calbos, NNSA’s Principal Assistant Deputy Administrator for Defense Programs, said in a statement.
